The god of Mohammed is the god of universal Lie. For him not only man lies, but also God. Sure, one liar must not necessarily be a Muslin, as one Muslim is not necessarily a liar, but Lie continues to be the supreme value of this religion, in which it could be said that it has become God itself.
This “theology of Lie” helps to understand “Islamic politics”. Both al-Hakim and al-Sadr take money from Iran and afterwards one betrays each other and also their Iranian “benefactor”. For one who knows the oriental mentality, it’s absolutely normal. Political sense of this “universal betraying” is also clear. Nor al-Hakim & al-Sadr trust Iran nor Iran trusts these two swindlers. Maliki, knowing well the oriental mentality, could buy one and eliminate from the scene the other (al-Sadr: he is politically dead). Is it possible to trust in Maliki? I think, yes. Iraqi political existence depends on American military and economical aid. Iran is the historical enemy of Iraq and national unity is much deeper than religious. So the main danger for Iraq is not to be transformed in the Promise Land of Terrorist International, but into a political province of Iran. It explains why al-Hakim supports national Maliki’s Govern while he takes money from the Iranians. For the oriental man it does mean no commitment. It’s the East!
